Rosaria Butterfield and Christopher Yuan: The Christian Sexual Ethic (Seminar)

Summary

The sermon discusses the significant shift in sexual ethics in the United States, marked by the Obergefell and Bostock Supreme Court decisions, which have redefined harm to include failing to affirm LGBTQ+ identities. It critiques several "homegrown heresies" within the church, such as viewing same-sex attraction as a morally neutral temptation and asserting that all sins are equal, failing to recognize the unique impact of redefining marriage and sexuality. The practical takeaway is that Christians must hold firm to biblical truth, understanding that truth sets people free, and that genuine love involves speaking truth, even when it is unpopular.
